So.... I have incurable brain cancer and I'm asking for your love & support 💖

Are you familiar with the printer ink business model? Sell a printer for a modest profit because you'll make the real money from forcing people to buy your ink? IT's also known as the razor blade business model. Danaher sells its diagnostic machines at a small profit and then price gouges for tests--thus denying millions access to affordable, accurate tests for tuberculosis. And then THEY BRAG ABOUT IT TO THEIR SHAREHOLDERS. Just listen to @DanaherCorp CEO Rainer Blair. #PeopleOverProfits

Good morning! We're kicking off this AM with some breakfast and conversation. Come join us! 🍩🍎🍵 #BarCampGR

I HAVE RETURNED TO MAIN because I am FURIOUS that @JNJGlobalHealth is preventing millions from accessing life-saving treatment with bedaquiline, thereby costing innumerable lives and increasing the global risk of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. youtube.com/watch?v=tMhgw5…

An open letter to @JNJNews. Stop pursuing the secondary patent of bedaquiline. YOU KNOW that millions of people will be unable to access lifesaving treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis if you extend the patent. YOU KNOW it violates your credo. youtube.com/watch?v=tMhgw5…

BarCampGR is back again this year! Check us out barcampgr.org

Do you want another BarCampGR?  To do it again, we need several people to join the organizers crew.  Email us at organizers@<domain> if you want to help make it happen!

@ajp Wunderground, but it’s ads forced me to set up a pi-hole at home. Also Geometric Weather is neat. On iOS it’s a beta through Test Flight

Now that Dark Sky app is gone, what weather app are we using now? Hello Weather and Carrot Weather seem to be doing it for me so far.

Two hours after most massive missile strike yet. Half of Kyiv without power. Restaurants still manage to serve hot and steamy borscht. In a candlelight. Fuck you fucking russia

@kadams54 @my_decorator @namespace decorators are functions, and the @... syntax just needs to reference it. So you could put the decorator function in a module/file and do @mymod.deco. Or put it in a class (maybe with @staticmethod on each deco, so no `self` param) and do @MyClass.deco

Python peeps: anyone know how to namespace a custom decorator? I have `@my_decorator`, I want `@namespace.my_decorator`.

this should be as big of news as the notre dame fire imo. polynesian history is incredibly rich and the people of rapa nui were the most skilled sailors/explorers ever (yes, ever!). this history is important and deserves all our preservation efforts. they’ve already lost so much.

@Ross_Hunter @bkeepers twitter.com/foundersbrewin… here you go

This is a long shot, but does anyone remember the name of this band? They played at Founders on July 7th, 2012. I've googled to the best of my ability. @bkeepers I think you were there too?

@kadams54 I also like semi-automating after doing things manually for a while. Like just the tedious steps. Or generate cmds but you manually execute them still. Learned from someone at barcamp

This post has been tumbling around in the back of my head for years now, so it feels good to finally get it out there. It’s also a posthumous “thank you” note to Professor Basney for his teaching and mentorship at @Calvin_Uni.

@rick446 @kadams54 I just learned about github.com/Zac-HD/shed and am quite intrigued. Sounds like black++

@kadams54 I use black and flake8 with a setting in project.toml to use 79 columns so they're compatible with each other

Python folks: what linter(s) and/or code formatter(s) would you choose for a brand new project? Bonus points for zero config/sensible defaults, using pyproject.toml for any additional config, and minimizing the number of tools in play. Because I ❤️ simplicity.

@kadams54 Weird! I have an older ecobee that definitely doesn’t have a speaker in it

TIL that my smart thermostat is also… an Airplay speaker?
